Integrity, or the lack of it, touches almost every facet of our lives-everything we say, every thought and desire.

A mother has far greater influence on her children than anyone else, and she must realize that every word she speaks, every act, every response, her attitude, even her appearance and manner of dress affect the lives of her children and the whole family.

The most difficult thing for us seems to be to give of ourselves, to do away with selfishness. If we really love someone, nothing is too difficult for us to do for that individual.

Half the world seems to be following the wrong scent in the pursuit of happiness-many think it consists of having and getting and being served, when really happiness is found in serving others.

An honest, sincerely stated compliment helps to build character; criticism destroys it.

There is no real happiness in having or getting, but only in giving.
